IBONING-BOARD.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept, 3, 191 8.

Application filed October 23, 1917. Serial No. 198,139. f

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM MINTZ, a citizen of Russia, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Ironing- Board, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to a tailors ironing board. An object of the invention is to provide such a board as would obviate the necessity of using a number of different boards for ironing diflerent parts of a garment.

Another object of the invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive and convenient ironing board.

A further object of the invention is to provide a board having a detachable top so that the bottom of the board may also be used for the purpose of ironing certain parts of a garment which are at present ironed on tables.

With the above and other objects in View, the nature of which will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as herein fully described, illustrated and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of the application, similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure l is a perspective view of an ironing board embodying my invention;

Fig. 2 is a top plan view;

I Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section on line 3-3, Fig. 2; and

Fig. 1 is a cross section on line 47- 1, Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings, 5 is the base or bed on which the top 6 of the ironing board is supported by standards 7 disposed transversely of the bed and preferably near the ends of same. The board 6 is in the shape of an elongated ellipse, one end of which is truncated and the corners rounded as shown at 8. This is the rear end of the board. The other end of the board has the end of the ellipse spread to form a rectangular elongation 9 with rounded corners. This arrangement permits the ironing of any part of a mans or womans garment without the necessity of utilizing special supports.

The standards 7 have concave edges or sides 10 to prevent interference of the standards with the garment to be ironed. As shown, these are V-shape, but they may be arcuate, if so desired. The top 6 is detachably secured to the standards by means of hooks 11 provided on the under side of the top, for which the standards have eyelets 12 depressed below the upper edges 13 of the standards so as not to interfere between the board and the said standards. Each standard also carries a book 14: adapted to snap into an eyelet 15 carried by the board when said board is brought against the edges 13 of standards 7. WVhen the boardis re moved from the standard the edges 13 will form a level support for the bottom 5 and thereby present the same in proper position for ironing thereupon parts of'a garment which normally are ironed on a table. The standards 7 are preferably braced near the base by side boards 17 which unite the standards. The provision of eyelets in each standard permits the locking of the board 6 thereto with either end to the right.

I claim:

1. In an ironing board, a base, standards rising from said base, a board forming a cover adapted to rest on the standards, a hook carried by the board, eyelets in said standards adapted to be engaged by the hook, hooks carried by the standards, and an eyelet in the board adapted to be engaged by either of the hooks of the standards whereby said board may be locked to said standards with either end to the right.

2. In an ironing board, a base, standards rising from said base, members for anchoring said standards to the base, a cover adapted to rest on the standards, hooks carried by the cover, said members having eyelets adapted to be engaged by the hooks, and locking means carried by the standards for engaging the cover.

3. In an ironing board, a base, standards rising from said base, a cover adapted to rest on the standards, a hook carried by the cover near" one end of same, eyelets in said standards adapted to be engaged by said hook, hooks provided on the standards, and an eyelet near the other end of the cover adapted to be engaged by either of the hooks of the standards.
